National Stereotyping

I think national stereotyping is not good because it  may not be true. National stereotyping can also be harmful, for example that the french people are cowards who surrender immediately when confronted with danger. This idea is based on their quick capitulation during the Nazi invasion. This national stereotype is wrong, the french resistance assasinated Nazi officers and attacked their supply lines. Actually the french army surrendered in order to prevent the destruction of Paris.
